�I�ll be right there. I need to talk to Xavier first.�

�Okay.�

Renee did not ask what they were gonna talk about. She simply left.

Christopher walked over to Xavier�s bed and pulled down the blanket that was covering his head. With a serious face, he asked, "What are you doing?�

Xavier was about to fall asleep. He woke up with a puzzled look on his face and asked, �What�s the matter, Chris? You�re still here?�

Christopher did not look too happy. He said coldly, �Don�t play the innocent with me. Be honest and tell me what�s going on between you and Miss Everheart.�

�Nothing�s going on.�

Xavier said, �I went to her house for tea, and her house caught fire. I saved her and, in the process, hurt my leg��

�That�s all?�

�Yeah, that�s all!�

�Why do I feel like you have feelings for her��

�Nope, definitely not!�

Xavier denied it vehemently. �I don�t have any interest in her. You know what kind of women I like. Even if she�s the only woman left in the world, I still wouldn�t be interested in her!�

�Our friendship is purely platonic. As you know, if it weren�t for her, Zack Rosenwell wouldn�t have represented me in that lawsuit. I�m being so nice to her because I owe her a favor.�

Xavier wanted to explain further but Christopher raised his hand and stopped him. �You don�t have to explain anymore. It�s fine as long as you know what you�re doing.�

�Some women you can fall for, but some you can�t� Never touch a brother�s lover. I�m sure you know the code.�

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit weird.

Xavier, who had always respected Christopher, suddenly gave him a mocking smile. �Chris, I�m not as stupid as you think. I know what I�m doing. I�ll never cross the lines that I shouldn�t cross. But� aren�t you the one who failed to follow the code?�

Christopher lowered his head, his handsome and elegant face filled with regret. �That�s right. You should consider me a cautionary tale. I don�t want the three of us to fall apart again because of a woman!�

�Understood!� JrNovels.com
